Submission Guidelines
The Communication and Theater Association of Minnesota Journal (CTAMJ) is seeking manuscripts. The journal, which went to an online-only format in 2007, welcomes theoretical and applied articles and teaching suggestions from theater, communication and forensics professionals from all levels. Authors are reminded to keep the Journal audience in mind: students, teachers, and coaches at the high school, college, and university levels.
Manuscripts may be submitted for one of three categories:
- General Interest (scholarly research and essays)
- Teacher's Workbook (lesson plans and class activities)
- Coaches’ Corner (coaching activities and practices)
Contact the editor concerning book review proposals.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
- All submissions must be created solely by the author/s. Any form of plagiarism, including AI-generated material will be summarily rejected without opportunity for revision.
- Any past history of the submission (e.g., presentations at conferences) should be noted.
- Simultaneous submissions are NOT allowed.
